Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program

[tashabear]

The Arts Council here in State told me that they didn't know what I was talking about. He then directed me to a private school for that kind of instruction???

He's a dope.

Jarl, I was also unable to find anything for Pennsylvania. The closest reference I could find was under 'folk Arts' & pertained to Phillipine Culture in Delaware County (clear at the other end of PA). Nothing under 'apprenticeships', 'art apprenticeships' or 'folk art apprenticeships'. Apparently our State is 'non-folksy' in its ...orientation...

Okay, here:

Start at Funding Opportunities. Folk Art Apprenticeships is clearly under Funding for Individual Artists. But it's not clickable! What to do, what to do!

Look at the sidebar on the left. There's a clickable link for Funding for Individuals. We're getting warmer...

When you click on that, there's an expansion menu. Third on the list is Folk and Traditional Arts, which when clicked serves up a webpage with further information (and clickable links!) on Folk Art Apprenticeships and Fellowships.

I'm sorry I didn't drill down right to the third level. Mea culpa. I just figured that people could click on their own...

Thank you. I'm just a stupid old goat when it comes to finding my way around a computer sometimes (well, often, anyway). If it's not spelled out, I sometimes just don't 'get it', although one of my good friends is even worse. He avoids a computer like others would avoid kissing a bubonic plague victim. At least I try (computer work, not kissing plague victims).

lol. Clicking links, for the most part, is less risky than kissing plague victims. My best advice is to read the entire webpage when you don't immediately see what you're looking for. Some designers just aren't that good at creating intuitively useable pages, or perhaps there is a reason in the site structure for doing it like that. I would have made the subcategories on that first page clickable, but I'm subversive like that.

Better get in quick, Gov Rounds is talking big budget cuts and arts will be one of them.
